Caramel Egg Pudding: A Simple Recipe Guide

Caramel egg pudding, a beloved dessert worldwide, delights with its silky texture and rich caramel flavor. Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting this classic treat at home.

Ingredients: For the caramel: 50g sugar and 2 tbsp water. For the pudding: 3 eggs, 250ml milk, 30g sugar, and a pinch of vanilla extract.

Steps:

1. Make the caramel: Heat sugar and water in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until the sugar melts into a golden syrup. Pour immediately into individual pudding molds, swirling to coat the bottoms. Set aside.

2. Prepare the mixture: Whisk eggs and sugar in a bowl until smooth. Warm the milk (do not boil) and add vanilla. Gradually pour the milk into the egg mixture, stirring gently to avoid bubbles.

3. Steam the pudding: Strain the mixture through a sieve into the caramel-lined molds. Cover each mold with foil. Steam over medium heat for 20-25 minutes until set.

4. Chill and serve: Let the puddings cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. To unmold, run a knife around the edges and invert onto plates.

Tips: For extra smoothness, strain the mixture twice. Adjust caramel sweetness to taste. Enjoy this creamy, indulgent dessert plain or with fresh fruit!
